When it comes to our first interview we all do get nervous , don't we? Fir
st impression is the last impression and a personal interview is a platform to create that first impression. We all need to work hard and prepare ourselves before going to the interview . A lot of things have to be kept in mind and you need to be really confident to impress your interviewers.
I hope the following tips help you out in preparing for a personal interview.
1)Groom your self
Make sure your wearing neat and tidy formals . Very vibrant or bold colors outfit or makeup should be avoided .Wear formal makeup and comb your hair neatly.Make sure your hair does not look messy and fall on your face again and again. The way you present your self is really important.
2)Hide piercings/Tattoos.
Remove piercing and hide tattoos with a foundation or by wearing full sleeves /covered clothes. Tattoos and too many piercings may not make a good impression when it comes to professional and formal interviews.
3)A firm handshake with a smile.
When you meet your interviewers have a firm handshake. This will make a really good impression.Smile, because it will make you look less stressed out and help you engage with your interviewers comfortably.
4) Stop fidgeting.
Do not make unnecessary movements as such movements convey many messages. Biting nails,popping knuckles ,rolling your eyes and shaking your legs show that your quiet impatient and nervous.
5) Make eye contact.
Never look down or at the walls or away from the interviewers . Make eye contacts with them when you meet , while you leave or while you are talking to them. Making a friendly eye contact can instantly connect you with them .
6)Don't be too fast or slow
Whenever you are asked something don't be too fast or too slow while answering .Speak clearly and organize your thoughts before speaking so that you convey a clear cut message. Have good communication skills .
7)Sit straight
Sit Straight and in a professional manner. Don't ever slouch or else the interviewers might find you lazy and uninteresting. Be confident about whatever you speak. Be confident , not overconfident.
8) Don't talk too much.
Talk but do not overdo anything. Do not talk more than required . Talking too much can lead to more questions asked by the interviewer for which you might not have prepared well.
9) Do not touch your face or hair.
Touching your face or playing with your hair while talking shows that your dishonest or nervous.
10)Don't Panic
Last but not the least . Don't panic and take deep breaths before the interview.Be all cool and calm and trust yourself.
If you know about the right choices you need to make in life and if you trust yourself then you can convince your interviewers with ease.Work hard and prepare your self well before the interview.
I hope these points help.
